Instagram Girls

I haven't even tried instagram yet. Not sure I will.

I am not on instagram, but my friends who are or other people I see post via facebook, I thought they just used filters, not actual photoshopage (enlarging, sculpting, whatever else to change your actual appearance). To me there is nothing wrong with adjusting contrast, filters, etc. Once you manipulate your actual face and body to where it doesn't look like you is wrong. We could say the same about make-up, tanning, implants, hair extensions, and what not.

Good. I hope it does ruin your perception of women.

I hope you stop thinking that out of shape, overweight, lazy girls are normal and all that is out there. That girls who lift and take pride in challenging themselves are indeed real.

The fitness chicks on IG are all real people, not media. And we're going to continue to support #flexfriday and we're never going to stop #gymselfies.

You are not alone.

lol. theyre not real. they have fake boobs or butts (jen selter) and have their faces airbrushed of blemishes or use filters.

did you just tell me that I have fake tits and an airbrushed face because I said I post flexfriday pics and gym selfies??? REALLY???

thanks for the insult. really sweet.

i'll be at the gym worrying about reaching my next marks and not worrying about what you think of my chest.

so cold. shakes head.

im not talking about you at all. strong ego you have

then why are you quoting what i said and following it with an insult?

nevermind. i forgot this is how yall entertain yourselves. please excuse me for getting involved over my head, obviously.

I've never posted any photo's with any kind of filters. Why the need to enhance an image or change your look. Be happy with who you are....

I don't really know much about filters. But, is it just like turning the photo black and white or sepia or something like that? Because that's not all that different from making sure you have good lighting before taking the pic, so that it's not too dark, not washed out, or with color imbalances. The right lighting can actually convey reality better than some weird lighting. I just got a smart phone this month, so just took my first ever selfie (in my profile pic). I went into my hallway, so I could have white walls for a simple back drop. I can also see how the proximity and position of the camera can create some distortions. I've heard people say to try and hold the camera up high to look up at it. In my selfie, my eyes are looking down to see the button to press. Also my eyes are green, but you can't see that in the photo. I'm not wearing any make-up either (but I don't usually wear make-up anyway). Clearly, I'm not a photographer.

I use instagram, and I use filters too. Sometimes it makes the colors more vibrant, or lights up the shadows a bit better. Sometimes it provides more contrast. Often I find that the picture appears washed out compared to what my eyes can see... so I add a filter to make it look more like what I think it looks like to me.

Sometimes I do it because it's a cool effect.

I'm not on it to get followers, and while I do post the occasional fitness type shot, more of my posts are snapshots of my surroundings, or me and my kids, etc. As such, I keep my profile locked and pretty tight.

Applying a filter will not give me abs where I had none, nor will it give me bigger boobs or a more firm behind. It just plays with vibrancy, color, contrast, warmth, etc.

I've never posted any photo's with any kind of filters. Why the need to enhance an image or change your look. Be happy with who you are....If your hot, your hot, and if your not who cares or get plastic surgery.

I post pics on instagram to share with others, not to get attention (I get enough of that from tangible people - not creepers)

Also, the Op was not saying that all fitness photos and all flexfriday photos (or whatever) are fake. Plenty of them are as real as it gets. I was just looking at the flex Friday photos on Erin Simmon's Fitness page on FB.

that. i encourage all that. i was talking about girls like paige hathaway or whatever her name is

Now Instagram filters are synonymous with Photoshopping? C'mon. You can't edit in Instagram! It's a freaking filter. It changes tone/saturation.

I guess you don't color your hair, or use makeup or nail polish then? How about earrings or jewelry? A hair straightener?

I need one of those. People are always telling me that they don't like my tone.

dude, listen, you're new here, so i'll forgive you, but i'm the guy with the bad puns, okay? that is MY thing.
